lyrics
There was a time when I didn't have something to eat,
And there was a time when I didn't have shoes on my feet
It was so tough, so rough, so hard, but I did survive
It was nice to feel that I was in the hands of life.
Hoo - Now is the time to share all our experiences of life
Hoo- A wonderful time to talk about the things that keep us alive
We'll be testifying, and we'll smooth away any little strife
It won't be easy, but it can be crazy and smart; open your heart,
It is nice to feel that we’re in the hands of life
It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel
that we’re in the hands of life
Then will come the time to say good-bye, au revoir
That closing time when I sing the final song of the repertoire
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and life to life
The spell of living will be broken by the death's fife
We know what it's all about
You could be sad, or afraid, and bad ; but don't be dismayed
'T will be nice to know that I'm still in the hands, I’m still in the hands,
I’m still in the hands of life
It is nice to know, it is nice to know, it is nice to know, that we’re in the hands of life
In the hands of life
And there was a time when I didn't have shoes on my feet
It was so tough, so rough, so hard, but I did survive
It was nice to feel that I was in the hands of life.
Hoo - Now is the time to share all our experiences of life
Hoo- A wonderful time to talk about the things that keep us alive
We'll be testifying, and we'll smooth away any little strife
It won't be easy, but it can be crazy and smart; open your heart,
It is nice to feel that we’re in the hands of life
It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel
that we’re in the hands of life
Then will come the time to say good-bye, au revoir
That closing time when I sing the final song of the repertoire
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and life to life
The spell of living will be broken by the death's fife
We know what it's all about
You could be sad, or afraid, and bad ; but don't be dismayed
'T will be nice to know that I'm still in the hands, I’m still in the hands,
I’m still in the hands of life
It is nice to know, it is nice to know, it is nice to know, that we’re in the hands of life
In the hands of life

about
Emmanuel Pi Djob Montpellier, France
Emmanuel π Djob, auteur-compositeur-interprète camerounais, propose une afrosoul puissante et habitée, entre lumineuse
densité des pulsations africaines, sombre raucité du blues, et émotion nue de la soul.
En 2017, il sort Get on Board! Deluxe Edition, une version augmentée de l'album précédent (2016), plus dynamique, et incluant des inédits. Il travaille déjà à l'album suivant, Exile Radio.
